Our use of cookies As part of PrimeResi’s panel of industry leaders, Claire Whisker, Founder of First In The Door, shared her perspective on the upcoming Budget and its impact on the prime residential market.
She emphasised that confidence in the sector depends not on short-term incentives or new levies, but on clarity, consistency and freedom of movement within the market. With transaction costs already high and sentiment cautious, further fiscal uncertainty risks slowing activity across all levels.
Claire called for a policy approach that restores momentum — easing the burden on buyers and sellers, and allowing the market to move more freely.
